Chateau de Braude

70% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Merlot.The perfect example of what Will and I were searching for. This Chateau highlights the peculiarities of the appellation strictures and the immense enjoyment when one discovers a gem outside the system. The estate is actually part of the vineyards of a renowned Margaux estate, but the vines are just outside the strictly drawn line.
